The way to do this is to SetFunction() the DisplayBeep() call. There are many untilities that do this... /----------------------------------------------------------------------\ | /// Michael Sinz -- CATS/Amiga Software Engineer | | /// PHONE 215-431-9422 UUCP ( uunet | rutgers ) !cbmvax!mks | | /// | |\\\/// "I don't think so," said Ren'e Descartes. | | \XX/ Just then, he vanished. | \----------------------------------------------------------------------/

The PlayBeep function runs as a task in the background and runs asynchronously so the length of the sound does not slow anything down. Includes a couple of sample sound files. Version 1.1, binary only. Author: Tim Friest and Don Withey >Ethan Solomita: es1@cunixb.cc.columbia.edu Phil Nelson . UUCP:uunet!pyramid!oliveb!tymix!pnelson . Voice:408-922-7508 Perhaps the reason the modern liberal so disdains the 2nd amendment, and so loves the 1st, is that the 2nd protects our right to take action in defense of liberty, while the 1st protects our right to talk about it.

What you want is a utility called InstallBeep, which allows you to replace the display flash with your choice of any SMUS sound file. I got a copy on a local bbs system - it might be available on a Fish disk, but I don't know. -- Mike Farren farren@well.sf.ca.usa

There is a program called JrBeep that comes with the shareware
telecommunications program JRComm, ( an excellent program). Thie will
do just what you're talking about.
